This was disclosed by the Minister for Sports, Haji Nissar Ali while informing the Upper House in reply to a question by National Conference member, Devender Rana yesterday.
Further elaborating the plans mooted by the State Sports Council, the Minister said, “the Sports Council proposes to create modern infrastructure in the state to nurture the sports persons besides the department proposes to open sports academies and recruitment of experts to provide coaching on scientific lines.”
The Minister told the House that the Government also proposes to create specialized infrastructure by constructing an international standard cricket stadium with all modern facilities at Bain Bajalta in Jammu.
However, the House should know the fact that the plan to construct a cricket stadium at Bian Bajalta is mooted by the Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association and not the State Government. What the government has to do is to just transfer the land in the name of cricket body and the cost of construction will be borne by the Board for Control of Cricket in India (BCCI).

However, he said that the matter is being examined at high level and Centre approached for providing necessary funds required for the augmentation of sports infrastructure in the state. |
